back spacing..

i want to run a 15x7 draglite on the back of my TC, i know a 15x8 with 5.5" of back spacing sits perfect, what backspacing do i need for a 15x7 to get it to fit the same?

about 4.75 to 5 in of backspacing



a standard 7" wheel will fit fine if you run under a 27" tall tire

looks like all they offer is 4.5" for 15x7 draglites with 4 lug, grrr, that will put the wheel to far out i think ill just have to go with 8s
